djg Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Well, I might as well post the rest. Getting bored?? These formed a fairly ring in a hardwood forest around decayed matter. Only two inches tall at the time. Never got back to check on status. I will this sweek if they are still there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbenn Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 Looks like a Ramaria aurea, or similar fungus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fungus Rambunctious Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 I found one in my yard today! Are there ways to further identify it? Would you eat it? I remember one time I broke off a speck and put it on my tongue and it set my whole mouth on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbenn Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 There is a few attributes you can look at, but this is a difficult species to differentiate. Ramaria formosa is a toxic mushroom similar to the one you posted. I would definitely want to eliminate that as a possibility if you were to eat this. Here is a thread you can read through with some useful info: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector var hispanica Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 Looks like Ramaria stricta to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 26, 2021 Report Share Posted October 26, 2021 The NA Ramaria species that are found east of the Rockies are difficult to ID to species. My understanding is that none of these eastern types should be eaten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
